Professor Da Ruan in Shanghai University

Abstract

I knew Prof. Da Ruan in 2007. At that time, Prof. Da Ruan was invited as a keynote speaker of 2007 International Conference on Life System Modeling and Simulation (LSMS2007) organized by Shanghai University. The conference was held on September 14-17, 2007, Shanghai, China. I was in charge of contacting keynote speakers as one of program committee members. I had many contacts with Professor Da Ruan by email. Prof. Da Ruan always replied me in time. Sometimes he replied me within one minute after I sent him an email. I felt he was energetic and was always working beside his laptop, which gave me a deep impression. Though he had not attended the LSMS2007 because of a conflict with another conference, he gave us a lecture titled “Lessons learned from computational intelligence applications in complex systems” on September 24, 2007 after the conference. Since then he was kindly engaged as an adjunct professor of shanghai university because of his great achievements, talent and intelligence.
